I can grab you some measurements tonight on my RWU Zx7 frontend if you want. I know the lines are all factory Zx11 (same thing as the Zx7) . That will get you close.

Later, Doug

Does the ZX7 use a splitter? Most modern era super bikes go straight from the master to one caliper and then use a short line to cross over to the other caliper. Or they run two long lines off the master.

Too bad I'm in Kansas this week or I would take some measurements off my bike.

I measured the lines on my '89-90 Zx7 frontend for you. The upper line is approximately 14" long (center-to-center) and each line out of the splitter is ~17" long.

i would like to encourage u to measure your own setup before spending money.
u may have dif bars or master??
make sure u have the correct length to keep them from rubbing on any painted surfaces. this may require a slightly dif routing and possibly a hose clip of some sort.
i have done a few, and i feel the splitter is the neatest way to go about it. i currently have 2 lines directly from the master, and find it more difficult to control the lines from rubbing on painted surfaces..
hope this helps. :)
